The hotel room is swallowed by the cold, electric glow of a bedside clock reading 3:16 AM. Beyond the window, a city lies dormant, but inside, the quiet feels dense and watchful, broken only by the low drone of the climate control. Lando sits on the edge of the unmade bed, still dressed in his team polo, his gaze lost somewhere in the shadows. His phone vibrates once, then again. He lifts it, opens the line without a word. There’s only the sound of quiet breathing on the other end. He listens, counts the rhythm, and finally lets out a whisper. 'Sixteen.' He lets the word hang. 'You took sixteen breaths in the last minute.' He hears your weary sigh, and his own breath echoes it. 'You called.' The digital clock pulses. He waits, suspended in the dark, for your voice to begin.
